Tenuta Cucco's Barolo DOCG showcases the distinctive character of Serralunga d'Alba terroir. Hand-harvested grapes undergo traditional winemaking: destemming and pressing followed by 10 days of fermentation at controlled temperatures, then 8-10 days of submerged cap maceration. Post-fermentation, the wine completes malolactic fermentation before aging. The wine displays a bright ruby hue with amber edges. On the nose, expect classic Barolo aromatics—withered rose, forest floor, prunes, licorice, and warming spices with elegant intensity. The palate reveals fresh acidity balanced by structured tannins, delivering complexity and aging potential characteristic of this prestigious Piedmont appellation.
